1 Judge not, that you may not be judged,
1 NO juzguéis, para que no seáis juzgados.
2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.
2 Porque con el juicio con que juzgáis, seréis juzgados; y con la medida con que medís, os volverán á medir.
3 Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye; and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye?
3 Y ¿por qué miras la mota que está en el ojo de tu hermano, y no echas de ver la viga que está en tu ojo?
4 Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold a beam is in thy own eye?
4 O ¿cómo dirás á tu hermano: Espera, echaré de tu ojo la mota, y he aquí la viga en tu ojo?
5 Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
5 ¡Hipócrita! echa primero la viga de tu ojo, y entonces mirarás en echar la mota del ojo de tu hermano.
6 Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.
6 No deis lo santo á los perros, ni echéis vuestras perlas delante de los puercos; porque no las rehuellen con sus pies, y vuelvan y os despedacen.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.
7 Pedid, y se os dará; buscad, y hallaréis; llamad, y se os abrirá.
8 For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
8 Porque cualquiera que pide, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que llama, se abrirá.
9 Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?
9 ¿Qué hombre hay de vosotros, á quien si su hijo pidiere pan, le dará una piedra?
10 Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?
10 ¿Y si [le] pidiere un pez, le dará una serpiente?
11 If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?
11 Pues si vosotros, siendo malos, sabéis dar buenas dádivas á vuestros hijos, ¿cuánto más vuestro Padre que está en los cielos, dará buenas cosas á los que le piden?
12 All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.
12 Así que, todas las cosas que quisierais que los hombres hiciesen con vosotros, así también haced vosotros con ellos; porque esta es la ley y los profetas.
13 Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.
13 Entrad por la puerta estrecha: porque ancha es la puerta, y espacioso el camino que lleva á perdición, y muchos son los que entran por ella.
14 How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!
14 Porque estrecha es la puerta, y angosto el camino que lleva á la vida, y pocos son los que la hallan.
15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
15 Y guardaos de los falsos profetas, que vienen á vosotros con vestidos de ovejas, mas de dentro son lobos rapaces.
16 By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
16 Por sus frutos los conoceréis. ¿Cógense uvas de los espinos, ó higos de los abrojos?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
17 Así, todo buen árbol lleva buenos frutos; mas el árbol maleado lleva malos frutos.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.
18 No puede el buen árbol llevar malos frutos, ni el árbol maleado llevar frutos buenos.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire.
19 Todo árbol que no lleva buen fruto, córtase y échase en el fuego.
20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
20 Así que, por sus frutos los conoceréis.
21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 No todo el que me dice: Señor, Señor, entrará en el reino de los cielos: mas el que hiciere la voluntad de mi Padre que está en los cielos.
22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?
22 Muchos me dirán en aquel día: Señor, Señor, ¿no profetizamos en tu nombre, y en tu nombre lanzamos demonios, y en tu nombre hicimos muchos milagros?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
23 Y entonces les protestaré: Nunca os conocí; apartaos de mí, obradores de maldad.
24 Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to a wise man that built his house upon a rock,
24 Cualquiera, pues, que me oye estas palabras, y las hace, le compararé á un hombre prudente, que edificó su casa sobre la peña;
25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.
25 Y descendió lluvia, y vinieron ríos, y soplaron vientos, y combatieron aquella casa; y no cayó: porque estaba fundada sobre la peña.
26 And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish man that built his house upon the sand,
26 Y cualquiera que me oye estas palabras, y no las hace, le compararé á un hombre insensato, que edificó su casa sobre la arena;
27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.
27 Y descendió lluvia, y vinieron ríos, y soplaron vientos, é hicieron ímpetu en aquella casa; y cayó, y fué grande su ruina.
28 And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration at his doctrine.
28 Y fué que, como Jesús acabó estas palabras, las gentes se admiraban de su doctrina;
29 For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.
29 Porque les enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad, y no como los escribas.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
In the lesson of the Holy Gospel the Lord hath exhorted us to prayer. "Ask," saith He, "and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

What then? Ought we not to blame them that sin? Because Paul also saith this selfsame thing: or rather, there too it is Christ, speaking by Paul, and saying, "Why dost thou judge thy brother?

… all unrighteousness, covetousness, love of money, evil speaking, false witness; "not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing," or blow for blow, or cursing for cursing, but being mindful of what the Lord said in His teaching: "Judge not, that ye be not judged; forgive, and it shall be forgiven unto you; be merciful, that ye may obtain mercy; …
It was, [they affirm,] concerning these that the Lord said, "Seek, and ye shall find," that is, that they should inquire how Nous and Aletheia proceeded from Bythus and Sage; whether Logos and Zoe again derive their origin from these and then, whether Anthropos and Ecclesia proceed from Logos and Zoe.
or how shall they believe without a preacher?" And those who seek the Lord shall praise Him. For those who seek shall find Him, and those who find Him shall praise Him.
